Chromag Surface

Aah yes , a nice peaceful place to hang out and since this frame is handbuilt in Canada I'll post it here ! I never thought I'd like a hardtail again after years of just riding FS exclusively but this bike is very fun to ride , quality built , and gets me off my fat arse to pedal standing more often ! TIG.

Actually , it's an XL size and as already mentioned a steel frame (made by Dekerf ) ! Anyway , gotta love the Hans Dampf tires - lots of volume , great traction , and they roll pretty decently as well ......good clearance in the rear of Surface frame ! Very happy with the whole package......wouldn't change a thing except getting the motor in better shape- that is doing the pedaling ! TIG.

About a year of riding on the Surface and really like it so far ! I had to grind off a bit of the bottom -pull arm ( not used anyway ) on the dual-pull front derailleur to make for better clearance for 2.4 tires but other than that it has held up well ! I have mine setup with a 120 mm travel front fork so it behaves real well on xc type tight twisty trails ! For more aggressive riding I'd opt for a 140 mm fork but then again I'm more of a full suspension fan for that style anyway ! It's a great bike and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet hardtail to build to your liking !
